Franken-PyOpenGL 2.0 build page


PyOpenGL 2.0 was made with swig. This means it compiles into a native binary. This means it goes fast and that py2exe knows what to do with it.

PyOpenGL 3.0 was made with ctypes and it uses setuptools. That means the error checking on every call goes at python speed and that py2exe doesn't know what to do with it. That means PyOpenGL 3.0 is completely unsuitable to me.

So I want PyOpenGL 2.x on windows. Nobody else built it for Python 2.5. I use Python 2.5. I added a fix for the version file for py2exe, removed togl and numeric (didn't build, I don't use them), updated it's version number to 2.1.0 and built it...

... It's alive!!
